Our Forecast Worksheet has gone through some changes to make it easier for managers to do pipeline inspection with their team, we also added some additional responsive and metric filtering.
Sugar Customers now can work with their Dropbox file storage directly within Sugar by using CloudDrive.
We are replacing PHP cURL in Sugar! Introducing ExternalResourceClient as your new HTTP transport client
Sugar now provides developers an easy way to disable automatic rollback of MLPs in case of failures for better troubleshooting
We've improved Redis caching by providing configurable compression levels

Developer Impacts in this Release

If you use curl_, stream_ or socket_, you are impacted by this release
You will need to replace your cURL code to use our new ExternalResourceClient
If you provide Dropbox integration through custom code, you should re-evaluate and differentiate your offering
If you have customized the Forecasting Worksheet, you need to test your customization with the new release

For Sugar Developers working on the new product releases, we've prepared a Sugar 12.1 (Q3 2022) Customization Guide over in our Dev Tutorials section.

Happy Coding!

hi Rafael Fernandes
To be fair, onsite x.0.1 versions have always been released previously at same time as cloud 0.1.0 versions, as per the promised Sugar's Release Cadence

which would be a shame to change now, as it stops many from upgrading due to many bugs in major first release versions.

We trust this can be reconsidered?

Hi Jeff Bickart,

You will have access to it through DemoBuilder, Cloud Instances and/or Dev Builds to adapt and test your extensions.

When those patch releases (11.0.4 and 12.0.1) come out in September, you should have been able to adapt your code to push to your clients on upgrade time.

Keep in mind that our "blocked list" check for curl/stream/socket will be disabled on those patch versions, so customers should not have any problems (or take long time to upgrade) at all.

Does that clarify the strategy?

Rafael Fernandes we are going to need access to ExternalResourceClient sooner than the 2nd half of September. That sounds like the same time as the Q4 release, which will require our code to use ExternalResourceClient. On-Premise customers are going to take a long time to upgrade.

Rafael Fernandes - When will 11.0.4 and 12.0.1 be released so that we have access to ExternalResourceClient for on-premise deployments?
